"The insensitive and anti-people government has turned a blind eye to power and water crisis in the winter capital and its peripheries", NC District President Jammu Urban Dharamveer Singh Jamwal said while addressing agitating protesters. Jamwal decried callousness of the government to inflict miseries to the residents and said neither any minister nor any senior officer has taken time out from their cool Valley environs to visit Jammu and fix responsibility of those who have been taking sadistic pleasure in putting people to miseries. "The people have a right to know why power cuts remain enforced for longer durations and even for entire nights in various areas", he said and wondered why no exigency plan had been worked out in advance to meet summer exigencies.

Jamwal asked the government to address the problems in the Jammu region rather than playing politics over frivolous issues due to inherent contradictions with the coalition.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
